Allenation Proclamation

“The multiplication of public offices, increase of expense beyond income, growth and entailment of a public debt, are indications soliciting the employment of the pruning knife.”

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Spencer Roane, March 9, 1821

Does this apply today? If so, what is the “Pruning Knife” and how would it be “employed” without violent consequences as the quote lends easy imagery to assume?

Well Here it is, I have 3 different lists below and they have been my 2010 media life this last year. I was looking into this when putting it together and I realized that I am a bit behind – by about a year. I really didn’t listen to much 2010 music this year. Most of my listening was done for the year 2009, so please forgive me on my lack of respect for the year as far as music goes, and I vow to catch up and be more dedicated to the scene next year…

“To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”
-Thomas Jefferson

Mr. Jefferson was quite a man!
I think that I may expound my thoughts on this in a later post, look for that in the future.
